I thought this deserved its own thread because wheels for our cars are hard to come by:

You may find this interesting - our wheels appear to be the same fit as the 19 x 9 inchers on the BMW X5 as I suspected:

BMW:
PCD - 5x120
Offset - 30 to 50 (available as 48mm)
Bore - 72.6


Monaro:
Diameter: 18" (CV8) or 19" (VXR)
Width: 8" (J)
PCD: 5 x 120mm
Offset: 48 mm
Bore: 69mm

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

looks about right from what I remember looking at previously, only issue is you need some kind of spacer on the Monaro hub to fill the gap in the centre of the wheel or you'll risk bolts shearing and wheel overtaking you someday when you least expect it.

Interesting, you'd only need a small spacer shim to make up the 3.6mm difference in centre bore.

just a spigot ring you can get them specifically for that purpose from most alloy wheel people

Of course there is a huge choice of wheels when you look for "BMW X5" but sod all for "Monaro" and they are available in 8.5", 9" or even 10" wide.

Spotted this in another thread - is the green plastic ring the thing you're talking about?
